▲ how it works

How to counter a salary offer: paste it in, get your strategy.

You do not have to guess at a number or stare at a blank email. Paste your offer or current pay, and Counteroffer builds a market-rate band, the exact number to counter, scripted talking points, a ready-to-send email, and timing advice, in about two minutes. It is coaching, not legal or financial advice, and you are always the one negotiating.

▲ three steps

Paste it in. Get your strategy. Send your counter.

1

Paste your offer or comp

Drop in the job offer or your current pay, your role, level, and location. No spreadsheets, no forms. Counteroffer reads it the way a coach would and figures out what matters: the base, the bonus, the equity, and where you sit in the market.

2

Counteroffer builds your strategy

In about two minutes you get the whole packet: a market-rate band with their offer plotted on it, the exact number to counter and the one-line reason why, scripted talking points, a ready-to-send email, and timing advice. Every number shows the band it is anchored to.

Send your counter with confidence

Copy the email, say the script, and counter at the moment the timing advice recommends. You walk in with a number you can defend and the words to make the ask, prepared instead of anxious. You are always the one negotiating.

A number anchored to the market, and the words to defend it.

Shows the band, not a magic number

Counteroffer plots their offer and your counter on a low, median, and high band for your role and location. You can see exactly where your ask sits and explain why it is defensible. The range is built from market salary data and presented as guidance, because your situation and leverage move the number.

Hands you the words to say it

Every packet comes with scripted talking points and a ready-to-send email written for your situation, so the conversation feels rehearsed instead of awkward. You control every word. Counteroffer hands you the playbook; you make the call.
